“JaKarr has slowed his game down some and found a comfort level that’s allowed him to be very productive. It’s the old Coach Wooden adage ‘be quick but don’t hurry.’ Earlier in the season he was in a hurry, but now he’s playing the game with a better pace and as a result he’s seeing things with more clarity and using better judgment on the court.”

On Sampson: A long, athletic, slashing scorer ... a noted shot-blocker and prolific offensive and defensive rebounder ... was rated as high as the No. 11 player at his position and the No. 31 overall prospect originally in the Class of 2011 ... dynamic on-court game only eclipsed by his buoyant personality.

This will be the first game this season that Chatkevicious will be able to play in right? Will be interesting to see what he brings to the court. I have been pretty impressed with both Carrera's and Kacinas' efforts thus far.....

One sign of the turnaround for our team so far this season (from that article):

"USC is averaging 76.3 points per game, fifth-best in the Southeastern Conference through five games, outscoring opponents by an average of seven points per game. Active on offense, the Gamecocks have made an SEC-best 103 free throws so far this season, connecting on a 77.4 percent clip from the charity stripe."

If we show we can at least be competetive with STJ's athletes, I think we're in for a relatively good season. And I'm really excited to see what Chatkevicius brings to the table as well.

Yes, this will be his first game. IMO he is still very much a project and won't be much of an impact in the near future.
